Colors are really pretty and character design is interesting. Illustrations have a style of their own that effectively complements the story.
I recommend Lucky and my little girl too. She loves to browse the illustrations and listening to the story.
This is a very great story. Right from the start you fall in love with, Lucky, he indeeds captures your heart. You will giggle as you see him learn to fetch, roll over and beg. The illustrations are great and really bring the little fellow to life, they captures the closeness between Lucky and his friend. Now when tragedy strikes and Lucky is hit by the car you do feel sad, but his master doesn't give up on him, or consider him useless, not in this story. Instead children will learn that if an obstacle confronts them in life, there may be ways to still come out a winner, with a little hard work and love. A very nice story with a great ending. Recommended.
A man, no name, who lives alone, decides one day that he is missing something. He realizes he is lonely and decides to buy a dog. He checks the ads and the pet stores until he finds the perfect dog. He names the dog Lucky. The man and Lucky have a nice life together. They walk nearly every day and the man teaches Lucky new tricks. One day Lucky darts out into the street and a car runs into him. The man takes Lucky to an animal hospital and the veterinarian thinks Lucky's right front leg needs amputated. The man's perfect pet now has only three legs, not four. The man tells Lucky he loves him the same as he always did and he re-teaches Lucky the tricks he no longer knew and continues their daily walks again. Lucky, through determination and the man's encouragement and love, does even better than before. They are so happy together it, almost seemed they could fly.
A lonely man buys a dog, becomes smitten. The dog is injured and disabled. Still smitten, the man re-trains his dog, who recovers, and together they resume their normal life. That is the story.Read more ›
Dahlia Bookworm's Thoughts: I like the pictures because they are funny. For example, the sun has an arm and waves to the man. I like how the dog learned lots of tricks and how he could still do them after his accident. I like how the puppy made the best of losing his leg. It was easy for me to read and I would recommend it to kids younger than me.
Mommy Bookworm's Thoughts: I enjoyed the book. The illustrations are very colorful and have some funny details if you pay attention. For instance, the vet's scrubs have "Cool Dog Doc" written on the pocket and the pet store is shaped like a dog. It is a sweet story about a dog who overcomes the challenge of losing a leg. It's neat that the owner doesn't just give up after the accident and continues helping the dog and they keep having a great fulfilling life together. When I looked at different sites, they didn't say what age group the book is geared for. I classified it as 3-8 because I think that younger children would enjoy the pictures even though they wouldn't be able to read the book yet. I think it is a book that can help children know it's okay to be different and that you don't have to give up when bad things happen.
Lucky is about a man living in the big city who felt something was missing in his life and decided to buy a dog, finding one perfect for him at a pet shop. The man named the dog "Lucky," trained him, and considered him to be his best friend. One day Lucky breaks away, runs into the street, and gets hit by a car. Although the veterinarian is able to save him, Lucky loses a leg. "So the man took him home. He told him: `I love you just as much as ever.'" Lucky relearned his old tricks, doing them even better, and he and the man continued to be best friends and play in the park.
In addition to its disabilities theme, Lucky teaches children about animal hospitals and veterinarians. Despite Lucky's tragic accident, the story is positive and enjoyable for kids (recommended for children up to age seven). Encouraging for those who feel "different," for whatever reason, it also reminds kids that those who seem different may be just like everyone else.
As much as I like Lucky, I have one complaint. Lucky was bought at a pet store. With the millions of animals languishing (and being "euthanized") in pet shelters, it is disappointing that Lucky was not a rescue dog. Lucky promotes buying a pet at a pet shop to children, despite the fact that most pet shop animals come from puppy mills and are often in very poor health. Certainly this was not the author's intent, but the message "You can get a great dog like Lucky at a pet shop" is there.

Hospital supply shortage impacting patient care
WASHINGTON, DC—A shortage of nutrition drugs and disinfectant problems has emerged in U.S. hospitals. Physicians have been forced to decrease dosages and ration supplies, resulting in a compromise of patient care. The shortage is a component of a more widespread deficiency of pharmaceuticals, which has attracted the attention of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On December 15, a Senate committee began considering legislation requiring companies to notify the FDA of problems that might result in a shortage so the agency can help prevent them.
Shortages of chemotherapy and anesthesia drugs have received much attention has recently attracted media attention; however, new research has found that nutrition medicines are among the categories hardest hit by short supplies. The shortages include vitamins, minerals, and liquid foods that go into intravenous fluids administered to patients who are unable to eat. These substances are delivered through an infusion pump into the body via a catheter implanted in a large vein, often in the chest.
According to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released on December 15, the number of reported nutritional medicines running short rose to 13 in 2010, an increase from five in 2009. In 2010, among all drugs, the FDA estimated that 178 shortages occurred; to date for 2011, the total number has surpassed that.

- May 26, 2014

Cult football favourite Emile Heskey tied the knot over the weekend to his beautiful partner Chantelle Tagoe.
Chantelle, from Toxteth in Liverpool, became one of the original high-profile WAGs when she filmed the BBC3 series "Wags, Kids and World Cup Dreams" back in 2010.
After almost a decade of dating, Heskey finally tied the knot on Sunday, and the happy bride has since shared a series of photos from the event on her Instagram page.

23 reviews | 4.5 out of 5
The reel is arguably the best you can find for the money. Not only does it have good line capacity (210y of 10lb) it is well built and light. Also, its polymeric body should help resist corrosion. One reviewer mentioned the bail is a little hard to return. Compared to fine reels, he may be correct, however, I usually close the bail w/ my hand and the bail certainly will close via crank with a little effort. In addition, though I do not need it, with this combo you do not get an extra spool. The reel is great for its specifications. Good feel, whip is nice, and appearance is good. Cork handles too. It is 6'6 long two piece. This combo is the same price as the reel alone in store (note: in store you get extra spool). You could buy this combo and buy a longer sturdier rod for bigger fishing. Bottom line is reel is great for med-light to med-heavy fishing, rod is good for med-light and is 6'6 so better for canoe/kayak than pier/surf.
I did quite a bit of research before deciding to purchase this combo. The reel has received universally good reviews and the rod is a bit of a throwaway but I figured that getting the combo for the price of the reel alone made it a decent buy. The Good:
I am happy to report that I snagged my first trout with this combo on the second cast! Really happy with the casting distance and the lure action on retrieval (inline spinner) on retrieval. The Bad:
One of the support arms that is part of the bail snapped on the 5th cast. :-( The Ugly:
What promised to be a decent day of fishing ended prematurely due to the above. I debated a bit about exchanging the reel or returning the combo and replacing it. I opted to return the combo and make my own combo with separate components quantum reel/daiwa rod. I am surprised that this combo performed as poorly as it did, especially since I have always heard such great things about Mitchell spinning reels. Still, I couldn't rate it any higher based on my experience.
Nice product overall. Good for the price. You can get something reasonably good for as little as $20 in specialty on-line shops, but I do not know how those products would compare to this one.
Both the rod and the reel appear to be high quality. My only complaint about the performance is that I expected a lot less force required to auto-close the bail in the beginning of a retrieve. However, all other reels in the same price range felt the same.
This rod and reel combo is very sturdy. I was impressed with the overall performance. It is a good value buying the rod and reel together. You can buy them individually in the store but will pay more. I look forward to buying other Mitchell products in the future.
This combo is a good deal. I have seen the reel alone for fifty dollars... This is like getting a free rod for less dough. I have been fishing with it almost every day and have not experienced any issues at all. The reel is butter smooth and the rod has good action. Overall a great combo for the budget minded angler.
The Mitchell 300Xe 6' 6" Combo is a medium of the road fishing rod. I purchased it for my 8 year old grandson for Christmas so we won't be able to use it for a couple of months...It has a fairly light tip with a nedium power shaft which id perfect for trout and warm water (crappie, blue gill, catfish, etc) fishing. The quality of the rod, itself, is very good especially for the price. I personaly have about 30+ rods and reels for all kinds of fish and fishing. For trout and other smaller game fish I would gladly add this rod and reel combo to my collection. It has the backbone to deal with fish larger than a basic lake trout too. We've added 8 pound mainline to the reel, when we normally would put ony 6 pound line on. We're going for "The Big One's!"
This is the best rod AND reel I've ever owned. Rod: Action is great!!!! It handles large bait and large fish really well. I caught a 9 lbs. cat and was a little worried to get the first good size fish. The base of the rod is quite narrow compared to other rods and I was afraid it would snap if I got something too big. No worries. The rod showed no signs of giving out even though it was seriously bent. The joint is solid and nothing went wrong. The tip moves a whole lot at the slightest bite. Basically it acts like an ultralight but handles like a full size rod. Reel: Amazing. Just amazing. I've never felt a smoother reel. It doesn't have any stops when the brake is on. It just doesn't turn backwards. Turn the brake of and it will but when it's on, wherever you stop the reel is where it stops. It's really interesting. The brake switch is up tight against the base of the reel body but I got used to that right away. It's easy to reach and easy to use but it doesn't get hung on stuff and you won't accidentally flip it. If you are considering this set then stop. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.
Good value for under fifty dollars as the reel is smooth, and the rod is excellent.
The reel is high quality with good line capacity, instant anti-reverse and a well balanced rotor. The rod on the other hand is not. The rod tip broke off within two weeks of me purchasing it. I read the reviews on this combo and others had the same problem with the rod. I bought it anyway because the price was so good on this combo it was like buying the reel and getting the rod free. If you purchase this combo, plan on replacing the rod.
I read the reviews about this combo and tried it at a few stores before purchasing it at wal-mart who had the best price. So far it has performed excellent on Michigan rivers and lakes. Casting even small lures is easy and distance is no problem. Liked it so much I bought the med light mitchell 300Xe series combo as well.
I bought this combination for my wife and ended up giving her my rod and reel. The pole has a nice sensative tip and the reel is very smooth. I have used Mitchel reels in the past and this reel has the same Mitchel quality as expected. You will not be unhappy with this combo.
This is the best rod/reel combo Ive ever owned. The reel is extremely smooth, the rod is a good mix of sensitivity and stability, the combo is a great all around bargain. I will recommend it to anyone looking for a great combo for a great price.
Great value for the money, reel exceeded expectations, rod is decent quality. I would not hesitate to order another one. Lightweight, easy to use, nice looking outfit.
Mitchell 300 is still a great performer at a value price. Rod is functional and works well in a light tackle environment.
I bought this for my son. It is a great fishing outfit. I like it enough that I am buying another!
Great Reel, Rod OK

Netflix has no brick and mortar expenses and that means lower overhead and they can change strategies on a dime! This stock has been very very resilent in this huge market downturn. Sure it could be 5 bucks in 6 months. But who here has the stones to short it? Not me!
Typical shorties who face 23 days to cover if NFLX goes up. And it it is going up. No one who posts negative comments has any interest in seeing this stock rise. Don't pay attention to them. If they have facts, they will post them. But, this stock is rising.

Check out Re-Imagineering
I must admit: I haven't a clue as to how the whole Disney-acquires-Pixar thing is going to work out, but I do know one thing: it's probably good that John Lasseter will be helping out on the whole theme park thing for Disney. The one thing that the Disney parks seem to have suffered from over the last couple of decades is story and imagination, and I can't help but think that JL will bring a fresh (and desparately needed) perspective on the Disney theme parks.
Along that line, try checking out the Re-Imagineering blog. Their charter?
A forum for Pixar and Disney professionals passionate about the Disney Theme Parks to catalog past Imagineering missteps and offer up tenable practical solutions in hopes that a new wave of creative management at Imagineering can once again bring back the wonder and magic that's been missing from the parks for decades. '
Amen brothers. I actually really like Disneyland and even like California Adventure, but they fall well short of the promise of Walt's original vision, and the commentators on this blog have practical, thoughtful discussions of how the parks could retain their original charm and glory. I'm adding it to my daily read list.

Save a Snowflake for Decades – Popular Science
We don't get much snow here, but I thought I might archive this for future reference, just because it's cool.
Save a Snowflake for Decades - Popular Science
1. Set microscope slides, coverslips and superglue outside when it's 20°F or colder to chill them. Catch flakes on the slides or pick them up with cold tweezers.
2. Place a drop of superglue on the snowflake. Note: Gel glue doesn't work. Find a brand that's thin and runny.
3. Drop a coverslip over the glue. Don't press down hard or the flake could tear or melt from the heat of your finger.
4. Leave the slide in a freezer for one or two weeks and don't touch it with warm hands. The glue must completely harden before the snowflake warms up.

Tick destroying rover
Courtesy of hack-a-day comes this awesome story of a student project to make a robotic rover whose purpose is to eradicate ticks.  It basically follows a buried underground wire along the perimeter of the property, all the while releasing carbon dioxide gas.  Ticks are apparently attracted to the CO2, anc collect along the course, and then the ticks are sprayed with Permethrin. Since the hill behind my house is literally teaming with ticks, I think it's a darned cool idea, although I suspect their rover would find climing my hill to be rather challenging.

The Evil Dead (1981)
Well, Carmen and I haven't gotten out to see many first run movies lately, but tonight Pixar's Monday Film series stumbed on an old favorite: Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1981). Back when this film was made, Raimi was a mere 21 years old. In some ways, this shows: the movie has a fairly slim plot involving five young people heading off to the woods to relax on a brief vacation, only to find that the house they are staying at was once the retreat of a professor delving into the occult. When they play back some recordings of his they find in the basement, demons are summoned, and mayhem commences.
The movie stars a very young Bruce Campbell in one of his first roles, and begins a long association with Sam Raimi. As I said, it's a pretty thin plot, but what sets it apart is Raimi's visual style. It features buckets of blood and gore, demon possession, dismemberment, shredding flesh, a girl is molested by trees and vines, and general strange crap like you've never seen. I remember seeing this as a teenager, and have seen it at least once since on DVD, but it was great to see it in a real theater on 35mm film stock once again. The print was great, and despite showing a bunch of badly composited full moons over footage of a dilapidated mountain cabin, it holds up pretty well. It shows remarkable creativity in its use of lighting, cameras, fog, and camera position to give a strange, creepy feel to what could have been a merely pedestrian movie experience.
Raimi has made better films (such as one of my personal favorites) but it's great to see this early work from a popular director. If IMDB is correct, Raimi has begun production on a revisit to this story, and it will be interesting to see what a budget and twenty five years of directorial experience will bring to the show.

M4 Message Breaking Project
You might have noticed if you are a long time reader of this blog that I'm fascinated by codes and ciphers, particularly the kind that were developed before computers really came on the scene.  That's why I'm finding the M4 Message Breaking Project interesting: they are attempting to break
three two as yet unbroken code intercepts that presumably use the Nazi 4-Rotor Naval Enigma machine.
Years ago when Simon Singh's The Code Book came out, he ran a cipher challenge that invited readers to compete for a $10,000 prize by being the first to break 10 codes. Â I broke 7 out of the 10 (all the ones I thought I had a shot) including a 3 rotor Enigma encrypt. Â Breaking the 4 rotor variant with a much shorter message is a significant challenge, and they've managed to break one of the three already.
I've got their distributed client running on my machine. Â We shall see how it goes. 🙂

Darren McGavin stalks into the night…
Phil Plait's blog is the first mention I've read that actor Darren McGavin had passed away. Phil and I must have been watching the same TV shows as kids, because I loved Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and have recently found through the miracle of TIVO that the episodes still hold up fairly well, which can hardly be said of most of the television produced in the 1970s.
The thing that I found most remarkable about the show is just how unheroic Kolchak really was. He wasn't Clark Kent, secretly fighting crime with superpowers at night. He was just an average, middle age reporter, whose only talent seemed the ability to irritate everyone he came into contact with. It was a great character, and a great set of performances by McGavin. Lots of fun, and well worth watching on DVD.

Aztec + Lego
It's a strange fact that any two words (or interests) that you might have will eventually find a webpage that illustrates them both. Of course, every geek in the universe likes Legos, and a couple of years back I made an aborted stab at learning something about Mayan hieroglyphics.  I didn't think I'd find a webpage that harmonizes the two, but check out Dunechaser's Blocklog for his Aztec Minifigs.

Via Ars Technica is the announcement that many films from the National Archives will be made available via Google Video. Their pilot program had 104 videos, consisting of many newreel clips from WWII, documentaries about the formation of the national parks service, and documentaries from Nasa including the 1969 documentary The Eagle Has Landed, documenting the landing of Apollo 11 on the moon.  Good stuff.

I'll be at the San Mateo Maker's Faire in April
It looks like I'll be attending the Maker's Faire in San Mateo coming up on April 22nd and 23rd. My proposal to show my Atari 2600 Enigma Machine was accepted, so I guess I get to setup a little table display and yack at people about writing programs for the old Atari 2600. If I get all my prep done, I'll be demonstrating how you can assemble code using P65, the perl assembler, run it with the Stella emulator, and then burn it onto an EEPROM for execution in the real machine.
More details as it gets closer, but if you read my blog and are in the neighborhood, I'd be thrilled if you stopped in to say hi.

James Bond can't drive a stick…
Okay, a total fluff link. How lame is it that actor Daniel Craig, poised to replace Pierce Brosnan as the latest James Bond, can't drive a stick?  It's bad enough that he wears a life jacket while in a boat.
I'm not expecting good things.
Science Word of the Day: "Shrimpoluminscence"
Apparently the peakcock mantis shrimp packs a mighty wallop, which can even shatter the glass of aquariums. They also are responsible for the introduction of a new word to my vocabulary: "shrimpoluminescence". Catch the linked video below.
USATODAY.com - Shrimp spring into shattering action
The speed of the strike (up to 50 mph, or 23 m/s) creates cavitation bubbles between the shrimp's hammer-like heel and the struck snail. The bubbles collapse, and generate heat, light, and sound. The shell shatters with a flash too-fast-to-see, and a bang. Watch the flash (called shrimpoluminescence for another species) in the video, slowed by a factor of 900. (Courtesy of Sheila Patek, Wyatt Korff and Roy Caldwell/UC Berkeley) Though the mantis shrimp's tough heel is impregnated with hard minerals, still she must shed the pitted, damaged surface every few months, and grow new heel armor.
I have heard of the word triboluminescence before, which might provide a few minutes of goofy fun crushing Wintergreen lifesavers.

Maps for ipod, the Juan Buhler way…
Juan Buhler (former SIGGRAPH sketch chair, current Pixarian, and cool street photographer) sent me a link to his cool idea for using the video ipod to store maps. He realized that the thumbnail viewer in his iPod video displays six thumbnails in each row of his video iPod, so he stitched together a map of San Francisco from Google Maps that was 6 times the native screen resolution of the video iPod, (6x320=1920).  He then used the Python imaging toolkit to break the big map up into columns of six pictures using the Python Imaging Library, and loaded them onto his video iPod. Now, he can quickly scroll through the map of San Francisco, and bring up individual maps at the native resolution.
What a cool idea!
Addendum: I did something kind of similar a couple of years ago with Python and the Terraserver. You could basically convert latitude and longitude into a collection of urls, and then download the tiles from the Microsoft Terraserver and stitch them together, allowing you to create pictures like this one of San Francisco.

To the Editor.—
Dr. Richard L. Dobson's reply (222:1659, 1972) to a question on a patient's report of fecal body odor would seem to call for substantiation or documentation. The wording of the question ("... an intense body odor which he [the patient] describes as fecal..." and "... lincomycin [treatment for a respiratory infection] seemed to make the body odor less noticeable) leave open a possibility of olfactory hallucination or synesthesia. It is not stated that the odor was perceived by the physician himself or by anyone other than the patient. Yet the answer reads that the "odor is undoubtedly due to decomposition by bacteria or keratin, sebum (or) apocrine gland secretion" and the prescription not only localizes the odor with some assurance in the axillae, but recommends such remedies as an antibacterial soap and an antiperspirant-deodorant. This field, being poorly studied and little understood, is presumably for that reason widely

Remember me
A day before the remarks of two top U.S. security officials hit the wires on July 29, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on CNN Türk that it would be wrong to antagonize the relations between Turkey and the United States because of Fethullah Gülen
The significance we attribute to human rights, apart from anything else, sets our level of civilization
Turkey experienced its gravest coup attempt on July 15, with the Gülenist plotters hitting the Turkish parliament, main state premises, raiding state and private media outlets and worst, opening fire on civilians, killing around 250 persons
Since the night of July 15, when Turkey was hit by a bloody coup attempt, I have sided with the government, for which I normally have many criticisms. For whatever its wrongdoings are, Turkey's government is a popularly elected and, thus, legitimate authority
Quite often I opposed your stance when you turned your face completely to the West. At the point we have reached today, I am saying, "Fortunately you turned your face and our faces to the West," and I do not have anything else to say
According to a pro-government newspaper, the "Fethullah Gülen Community coup plotters" were behind the Uludere massacre, where 34 citizens were bombed to death by fighter jets
After the attack on Istanbul Atatürk Airport, there was sympathy for Turks
Comment(s) 7/30/2016
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) scored a huge victory in Turkey's general elections on Nov. 1, garnering almost half of the votes and increasing its vote over the June 7 elections by almost 9 percentage points
Comment(s) 11/2/2015
Turkey has improved its information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure greatly over the years
Comment(s) 7/28/2016
This is what one of the most militantly pro-President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan journalists wrote in his column on Nov. 27, 2013: "It is halal [religiously permissible] that the 'Soldiers of Service' [Gülenist 'Service' movement] take jobs in the state bureaucracy
Comment(s) 7/29/2016
As I write this, Solar Impulse is already in the air on the last 48-hour leg of its remarkable journey: The first round-the world flight by an aircraft that uses no fuel except sunlight
Comment(s) 7/26/2016
I have been writing in this column since 2007. I did not parachute into this column; it was not the mighty hand of the current political power that made it possible for me to have this column. When I started writing, I had the experience, accumulation of information and perspective of views gained over 21 years spent in the local and international media as a reporter, editor and administrator.
Comment(s) 2/20/2015
Turkey has been in turmoil since the bloody coup attempt of July 15 and the future is still unclear. Nevertheless, the worst case scenarios did not happen and Turkey is in better shape than it was a few days ago, or even a few months ago
Comment(s) 7/25/2016
At a time when the world is mourning the massacre of 49 people at a gay night club in Orlando, a new massacre is being brewed by Islamists and a far-right nationalist group in Istanbul
Comment(s) 6/16/2016
Many things have been said about the July 15 coup attempt in Turkey, but a number of remarkable smaller details have gone unnoticed, although they are equally amazing
Comment(s) 7/27/2016
The Kurdish issue-focused Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) will have four cabinet ministries, and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) will have four ministries, in the case that a coalition is not formed and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan makes the decision of an early election.
Comment(s) 8/1/2015
Each day Turkey becomes a witness to incredible incidents. But the biggest threat to the country is to see these incidents as normal and internalize them
Comment(s) 11/30/2015
It was a time when Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Şimşek was meeting with Moody's executives in Ankara. I was at lunch with a group of economists, including an international investment fund executive, a bank executive and a market analyst. They were not as content as Şimşek. They had still not been able to overcome the post-traumatic stress of July 15
It's not bad at all to have properly dealt with the coup attempt, one that was lacking honor so as to fire on its own citizens and that bombed the veteran parliament, where even the enemy did not/was not even able to fire one bullet during the War of Independence
Comment(s) 7/19/2016
The military coup in Turkey was a direct assault against the democratic institutions of the country
Comment(s) 7/24/2016
Democratic politics is not just about having some ideas or uniting around some others' ideas on ways of resolving the problems of a community
The tumult in the Middle East and North Africa following the outbreak of the Arab Spring in late 2010 and subsequent rise of radicalism created insecurity not only for the region, but also for the whole world with its spillover effects
Almost 10 days after the military coup attempt in Turkey, we are not quiet back to normal
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will visit Turkey on Jan. 23 at a crucial time in the country's history
Comment(s) 1/23/2016
The responsibility to change the course of Egypt again falls on all Egyptians
3 Comment(s) 9/28/2013
"It was just a storm. It passed. Everything is OK." My friend on the other end of the line sounded quite jolly and consoling. I should not worry, he said, things will sort themselves out. "Believe me. We know better," he said
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's meeting with the opposition leaders at his presidential palace, following the coup attempt on July 15, is a positive development
All local banks are saying that they are having major difficulty at this time generating confidence in external markets
It is high time for Turkey to look ahead. It's about time to identify the weaknesses and foibles within the system which paved the way for the recent coup attempt
Last summer I attended a press conference at the Family and Social Affairs Ministry
I was able to learn later that Foreign Affairs Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu had tested the waters for a very important "peace attack" during his last trip to Azerbaijan
When President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said the inevitable and stated that there are plans to grant Turkish citizenship to some Syrian refugees, a significant number of our self-grown racists emerged. But we have not seen them all yet

"I still haven't stopped listening. The songs are meaningful and dynamic, and the lyrics stick with you long after the CDs stop playing" - Itunes reviewer
" . . . powerful, intense sound, which fluctuates from brooding droners to pumped-up power pop. Wimberly's vocals are well suited to the fuzzed out, effect-laden guitars. The band's debut disc, "Empty City," is a perfect example of 'do it yourself' ingenuity."
". . . Keep on making more albums and they will start selling. I just hope they don't change when they get big and start selling out stadiums cause I will quit on them sooooooo fast... GREAT band."
". . . Stranger Spirits' experimentation is worth checking out. There are great musical moments here... I'll be very interested to hear future efforts from this band to see where that constant pushing and experimentation takes them. In the meantime, they've made a promising debut."

Hitting a high note
Woodstock's Vann Burchfield will perform at the White House
Published: Saturday, December 10, 2005 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 9, 2005 at 11:00 p.m.
Vann Burchfield set a new Guinness World Record for holding one continuous note on his saxophone for 47 minutes and six seconds, breaking Kenny Gs record in February 2000.
That broken record even made the Christian jazz musician the answer to a Trivial Pursuit question in the 20th anniversary edition of the game.
On Dec. 22, the 43-year-old Woodstock resident will play his saxophone at a White House holiday reception for special guests, including cabinet members, government appointees and their families.
The power that comes from that incredible place -- to be there and to think of all of the presidents, kings and governors who have been there," Burchfield said. And its great to see the faces of the people when they come in the room where Im playing and they smile."
This will be Burchfields third time to play at the White House during the holidays.
In 2002, he submitted a CD to the White House Visitors Office and was invited to play for Christmas that year. He played there again in 2003.
Its an opportunity for me to share my God-given gifts and talents," he said.
Burchfield became interested in music in junior high school. It just came naturally to him.
The first instrument he played was the clarinet, but his father gave him a saxophone when he was in the seventh grade.
A graduate of McAdory High School in McCalla, he attended college at the University of Alabama Birmingham, where he was in the band. There, he also met his wife, Teresa. They married in 1984.
He sold insurance for eight years and worked for a car dealership for two years. But in 1993, he had a life changing moment."
A high school friend invited him to attend the Inverness Church of God in Birmingham. Burchfield grew up in the Mormon Church but had dropped out of the church scene years before and was disenchanted with religion.
In the Mormon Church, we sang about God, but here, they were singing directly to God," he said. The Holy Spirit was there that day. Something on the inside spoke to me. It radically changed my life forever."
He decided to use his music to draw people to God.
In 1994, he began writing and recording music and playing his horns at various events in the Birmingham area. Three years later, he and his wife, who sings, traveled with Joyce Meyer Ministries to share the gospel through music.
In 2000, he began his solo career. He recently released his fifth CD, QuietTime"--a collection of smooth jazz originals and contemporary Christian hits. Two of his CDs are Christmas CDs.
The holiday season is very special to me," he said. If this country lived every day like its Christmas, this country would be a much better place."
He and Tuscaloosa resident Matt Wiley, who plays the keyboard, are discussing touring together next year.
Hes the real deal," Wiley said of Burchfield. Hes a very spiritual person and a great musician."
Burchfield has two letters signed by First Lady Laura Bush thanking him for playing music that adds so much to the holiday experience.
This year, though, he hopes to meet the President.
Ive met Laura Bush, Jenna and Barbara, and Ive pet the dog, but Ive never met the President."

Guys, I know each every one of founders of CBRL.
Evans hasn't got a clue as to how to right this
CBRL's may be packed, but food delivery time far exceeds
industry accepted standards. There are not enough 'turns'
during the course of a day to support the expenses
associated with a CBRL physical plant. If the average time
to serve a customer is three times what it should be
(in the door/out the door), then its pretty easy to
understand the long queues.
That's not how you make
money. I would much rather fill that seat with three
different butts in the service time currently allocated for
just one customer.
Even if you cut service time
to 1.5 of what it is now, your gross receipts should
be up 200%. Assuming an appropriate improvement in
server and kitchen efficiencies, you will be putting
more profit on the bottom line. A side benefit of this
, and by the way it cost you nothing, is the
customer is a lot happier.
I have eaten at a dozen Cracker Barrel
restaurants in the past two years - Albany, Dallas, Tenn, OK,
Co ... and I have never been disatisfied with either
the service or the food. And I am not easy to please.
That is why I bought the stock.
Personally, I
think that CBRL needs to do more advertising to better
fill the restaurants. There are only two ways to make
more money in ANY business. 1. Get the current
customers to spend more. 2. Find new customers. CRBL should
focus on both. For the current customers, I would have
more food to go so that those that stop for breakfast
could also pick up a box lunch or snack for the car. I
would also do a good review of the stuff in the front
of the store. To me, it appears that they could put
a lot more stuff that would sell like books and
magazines in place of relish and sasparrilla. Also, I think
they shoul open a web site to allow people who think
the old timey stuff they sell is neat, to order it
from home for gifts etc.
And, as far as new
customers, CRBL should work with Ryder, Uhaul, and Budget
and give any truck rentor a free cuppa Joe for stopen
at CRBL. I own stock in Uhaul (it is actually
Amerco) so I can tell you that they alone facilitate 11
million moves a year. They also need to advertise on
radio stations (so people in cars hear it) for those
restaurants that have soft business.
Remember the
problem here is revenues, not quality of service. Cracker
Barrel wins awards for the quality of its restaurants
every year.
b d:>)
Since you know all the founders of CBRl I was
wondering what Dan Evins thinks of this evans guy you
mention that is running a ship for him?
I don't know
all of them I guess and Don't know this Evans guy you
speak of at all. Perhaps with your knowlegde of the
founders of cracker Barrel you could enlighten this board
with what this Evans does there.
I don't know the founders of CBRL even though I
live in the area of the home office too. What I do
know is, once I am seated at a table ready to be
served, if you want to offend me, try rushing me out of
my seat. Nothing.........and I do mean NOTHING....
makes me any angrier with a resturant or
After waiting to be seated, the last thing I want is
someone trying to make me gulp my meal down or main line
it into my stomach. Get real.............are u short
this stock. If so, I have no problem with that, but
let's be realistic and accurate in teh things u are
Good point. I had a GTC limit order to buy more
at 15. Decided to cancel it Monday 26th. Maybee if
earnings crash I can buy it later around 10 or 12 lots
more for same money!!! Also looks like better bargains
out there. Think I'll buy more DCHT @ .6875
Hey Good Chicken! stick a few bucks in this one and
forget it for two years! CBRL will take 2 years to turn
I sure hope Dan W. Evins and the rest of the
screw ups don't declare their selves large bonuses of
the investors money this year, like they done last
Names Salaries Bonuses
Dan W. Evins $385,000.00
Ronald N. Maguder $350,000.00
Michael A. Woodhouse $231,000.00 $257,601.00
D. Adkins $185,000.00 $154,728.00
Richard G.
Parsons $175,000.00 $146,364.00
How could you guys
take this kind of compensation with a straight face. I
sure don't know how you could face your shareholders
at the stockerholders meeting this year, by takeing
this kind of money out of the company.They have had
continued confidence in your leadership for years, and to
do no beter job in running the company than you have
the past few years, and to take that kind of a
compensation. I would surely be ashamed of my self if I were
you guys. When you read this, and if you don't feel
guilty you have no feeling at all for us investors.
The Good Chicken said that.
Do you have any knowledge as to who owns the % of
common stock in this company? That is institutional
ownership, and insider holdings vs. the remaining % held by
individual outsiders?
Thanks in advance,
I have not been in Bob Evans store teritory in
several years but always stop in at every chance. Does
Bob Evans display and merchandise as much dry goods
as CB?. I ask that because it dawned on me that
while a lot of raw food items might be purchased
locally, that hauling all those non food things around
like dolls and rocking chairs for instance must get
expensive in those refrigerated trucks. They take up lots
of space if you ever had to haul one. Seems that
CBRL still serves good food, at least where I have
been and the dislike I hope may, just be in some the
local tast buds. Someone suggested enlarging the dry
goods store areas a while back, which seemed at first
not a bad idea. But I sort of thought that CBRL is
(or was)first primarilly about eating and food, not
selling dolls and rocking chairs. After all, waiting to
eat has sort of been a tradition around good food
places, think about it. CBRLs are really spread out over
a large territory. Running those trucks up full and
back empty must be an expensive wast. It is sort of
like the story I heard about the guy painting the
stripe in the road. Instead of buying several one gallon
cans of paint and spacing them along the way for
future use, he bought one big barrell of paint, and then
ran back and forth to the point of not having any
time or energy to paint anymore. Is CBRL doing
How about a mid point storage warehouse area for all
those rocking chairs and other non perishables. Or, you
could hire a "local Joe" and his fleet of flat bed hay
trucks to haul all those chairs. Or,Any chance of using
drop shipments, direct from the supplier to the sub
distribution points. I know of a truck space broker who
arranges loads in order to prevent dry runs.
From your postings, it sounds like you are an
expert's expert in the restaurant industry, and very
familiar CBRL management and CBRL's operations. (What was
the source of the restaurant comparison statistics
that you allege to be true?) Have you considered
hiring yourself out to CBRL (for monetary compensation)
to inform them of s-p-e-c-i-f-i-c-s of how to
improve its operations and profits? Have you consider any
formal shareholder proposals, e.g. naming yourself and
other like-minded persons as directors? Have you
considered any affirmative positive act to improve CBRL? If
so, what?
It is my humble understanding that
one, e.g. a director of CBRL, may engage in legal acts
to lower income taxes. Some persons set up foreign
trusts. Some even take valid deductions for medical
expenses. Are we supposed to become disgusted that a recent
Mexican citizen (per your comments) is allegedly a
Director of CBRL? (Was there some racism hidden in the
If one only considers your comments as to
the ability of CBRL management, one would have to
wonder how CBRL ever expanded to its second
It appears that you have a short position in CBRL
stock and desire additional profits by making
undocumentable negative comments. Otherwise, what is your
incentive to waste your time on this board?
The site (www.crackerbarrel.com) may be the only
way to get to the insiders. I sent them a message
last night on it. They may not be reading the messages
on the Yahoo Finance board. If the stockholders have
a concern about their holdings in Cracker Barrel,
they should contact them that way. They have their own
"guest book" to click on, they should get our messages
on that, unless they close it down also, so we can't
get to them that way. If they do the only way to get
to them is to file a minority stockholders law
suite. There has to be something done to get these guys
doing a better job for us. I told them about a manager
up at out local Ryan's steak house that I was
talking to. He told me that while he was in training
three months for Ryan's steak house, there were six
Cracker Barrel ex-managers in training there. He said the
ex-managers all told him and others that Cracker Barrel
treats their managers like dirt. I told the people at
Cracker Barrel on their guest book last night, as a
stockholder that was very hard for me to swallow. We
stockholders are just going to have to do something about this
stock, and why it keeps drifting lower and lower.
Good Chicken
I just posted the following
As a shareholder, I am deeply concerned about the
losses that I have incurred in the stock's value. I
sincerely hope management is not rewarding itself for lack
of performance and am very curious as to what steps
are being taken to address shareholder value. It was
once relayed to me that management and employees are
in place for the sole benefit of the shareholders in
a company and should constantly be striving to do
whatever is necessary to enhance shareholder value. Is
CrackerBarrel committed to this concept? I welcome and expect
some sort of official response to my concerns. Thank
If you do, then you know that Evins is a senile
old fart who couldn't find his ass with both hands
and a flashlight. Ever heard the phrase "He's a
legend in his own mind."?
You just watch what
happens to Woodhouse.
I remember Shoneys in the southern US and made a
little $ on them years ago. But instead of plowing
earnings into expansion and rsearch etc, I think they paid
almost all of it out to the stockholders(YEA FOR ME AT
THE TIME) but then stagnated and are on life support
at present. I remember when I had to stand in line
to eat there. Almost like CBRL , some Olive Gardens,
Speg Factorys, and of all things, Waffle Houses,
today. Yesterday I saw a full lot (as usual)at CBRL and
also at the Local "mom & Pop" across the street,
compared to an almost empty Shoney s (plus other
competitors) lot one block away. IT MUST BE THE FOOD!?!?!?.
Proves or indicates sort of that good(and in current
style) may rule over slow sometimes. Same with the P
lots at Walmart compared to K marts etc. Some got it,
some had it, some are still looking for it. CBRL stock
may be like the food, a little slow at times but
presently good. Yes, waiting is a choice. The nessessity of
eating out for me becomes a twisted sort of
entertainment. I have a choice. I can fill up quickly on a
compromise, and end up stil craving, or wait in line
somewhere in order to get that "must take a nap under tree"
satisfaction. On second thought, those rocking chairs, even
though they get in the way sometimes, may indirectly
contribute more that the cost of handling them.

i thought that i could not be shocked anymore by their sickening arrogance. i was wrong.
Pincus also found this detailed description of the mezuzahs that will adorn every door in the facility:
These mezuzas, notes the [US Army] Corps, "shall be written in inerasable ink, on . . . uncoated leather parchment" and be handwritten by a scribe "holding a written authorization according to Jewish law." The writing may be "Ashkenazik or Sepharadik" but "not a mixture" and "must be uniform."
Also, "The Mezuzahs shall be proof-read by a computer at an authorized institution for Mezuzah inspection, as well as manually proof-read for the form of the letters by a proof-reader authorized by the Chief Rabbinate." The mezuza shall be supplied with an aluminum housing with holes so it can be connected to the door frame or opening. Finally, "All Mezuzahs for the facility shall be affixed by the Base's Rabbi or his appointed representative and not by the contractor staff."
